munlock - Allow clearing M-file or MEX-file from memory

Syntax

munlock
munlock fun
munlock('fun')

Description

munlock unlocks the currently running M-file or MEX-file in memory so that subsequent clear functions can remove it.

munlock fun unlocks the M-file or MEX-file named fun from memory. By default, these files are unlocked so that changes to the file are picked up. Calls to munlock are needed only to unlock M-files or MEX-files that have been locked with mlock.

munlock('fun') is the function form of munlock.

Examples

The function testfun begins with an mlock statement.

function testfun
mlock
  .
  .

When you execute this function, it becomes locked in memory. You can check this using the mislocked function.

testfun

mislocked testfun
ans =
     1

Using munlock, you unlock the testfun function in memory. Checking its status with mislocked shows that it is indeed unlocked at this point.

munlock testfun

mislocked testfun
ans =
     0
